Bobbi Kristina Brown's funeralS turned in to a fight as her aunt Leolah Brown was escorted out of the service by movie mogul Tyler Perry and then launched an astonishing attack on Pat Houston.
According to Dailymail, after being booted out of St. James Methodist Church for interrupting Pat Houston, Leolah Brown began a tirade against her, saying,
Whitney Houston will haunt Pat Houston from the grave'.As the feud between the Brown and Houston families publicly erupted, Brown addressed reporters outside the church while the funeral for her niece was still going on.
Mourners including her father, Grammy award winning singer Monica and actor Michael Jai White her father Bobby Brown and Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, Tyler Perry amongst others, but one very notable absentee was Bobbi Kristina's boyfriend, Nick Gordon, who found her unconscious in a bathtub at her home nearly six months ago, they all gathered at an Alpharetta, Atlanta church today to say goodbye to Bobbi Kristina Brown, the only child of Whitney Houston and R&B singer Bobby Brown.
Her hearse was escorted to St. James United Methodist Church by a huge police motorcade and her coffin was carried into the invitation only service by four men dressed in black suits as family members arrived for the 11am start.
Eight police motorcycles escorted three stretch limousines carrying mourners to the church ahead of the service. A procession of dozens of cars followed. Security was tight at the church.
Despite pleading with Brown and Bobbi's aunt, Pat Houston, Gordon was told he was not welcome at the funeral - which is believed to have a Sweet 16 theme.
However, it was not clear if Dionne Warwick, the cousin of Whitney Houston attended after reports she is furious with Pat Houston for deciding on the 'inappropriate' theme.
'It's not over. We've got evidence of who Pat really is, this is going to be a long drawn out process,' said Leolah, who has been fighting with the Houston family over Bobbi's $20 million inheritence.'Things are connected. Pat is a fraud and a phony. She is not a Houston, she's a Garland.'Eyewitnesses said the funeral for 22-year-old Bobbi had been going well and was a celebration of her life.
The senior pastor at St James, Reverend Michael McQueen, hosted the the service which included prayers from the Bible, followed by tributes and then a eulogy. It was when Pat Houston began speaking that Leolah began heckling and outside the church she paid tribute to her niece.
'She will be remembered in our hearts forever. It's so sad that this has happened to her.
'I'm angry at Nick, I am angry at what happened.''It was all fine until Pat started speaking.'
